10+ y ago4:54

4:54

The recovery from the much publicized housing crash of a few years ago may be hitting a wall, thanks to declining numbers of a group that’s essential to a robust housing market: first time home buyers.

10+ y ago4:29

4:29

The specter of inflation strikes chills into the hearths of many consumers – even more than its cousin, deflation.

Consumers fear inflation because to them it means higher prices for the goods…

CW Blogcast 72 - Renters Will Be Renters – Not Home Owners? 4:40

10+ y ago4:40

4:40

Time was, renting an apartment – or maybe a house – was just a temporary arrangement until you saved up enough to buy your very own home. But for a growing number of today’s renters, that scenario just doesn’t appeal – and that trend has big implications for investors in rental real estate. According to recent statistics reported by Business Inside…

10+ y ago4:27

4:27

The “Millennials” have been in the headlines a lot lately – and not for good reasons.

But a young real estate investor is proving that smart mone…

Time was, anybody who wanted a safe and anonymous hideaway for financial assets turned to offshore banking. Swiss bank accounts and offshore havens in places like the Cayman Islands allowed depositors both legal and not so legal a way to safeguard assets from risks of taxation or seizure by the home government. But as new and proposed laws threaten…

It’s practically a given in American society that owning a home is the key to stability and success. But although the US government has spent more than two decades drafting a variety of policies to create that “homeownership society,” the percentage of homeowners has hardly changed at all.

Coming your way: a new generation of (probably permanent) renters.

12+ y ago3:19

Interest rates that continue to run low and rising prices make the housing market pretty hot right now. Banks are offering attractive mortgage packages, too.

If you’ve been a follower of Jason Hartman and Platinum Properties Investor Network's style of investing for any length of time, you know we don’t believe flipping properties is the best approach for creating wealth in real estate.

When it comes to your real estate investments, it’s good to be a control freak. This is not what talking head hosts will tell you on the cable financial shows. They want you to drink the Wall Street Kool-Aid and do your best zombie imitation as you follow the broker of your choice's advice down the hemlock-laced path. The surest way to become a spe…

2:09

The term Ponzi Scheme, named for Italian-American, Charles Ponzi, back in 1920, describes an investment flim-flam that requires an ever-increasing volume of cash to stay afloat. The influx of new investor money is used to pay original investors and to line the pocket of the person that started the whole thing. The problem is, the model is destined …

2:10

We know it sounds counter-intuitive to say you can get rich borrowing money during inflationary times but, if you’ll stick with us for a few minutes, we’ll show you how it makes perfect sense. Let’s start with a simple economic truth – the value of a dollar declines over time. In fact, it declines a whole lot. In real terms of stuff you can buy, a …

CW Blogcast 51 - One life-changing idea. 2:10

12+ y ago2:10

2:10

At Platinum Properties Investor Network, we don’t know any other way to do it than to keep beating the same drum – investing in Wall Street’s lies will lead to disappointment. That game is rigged to siphon your money a little at a time (or sometimes a lot at once) until you have nothing. We know it’s hard to turn your back on the stock market. Your…

These days, investors are poised like vultures in trees along the roadway, ready to dive on the next foreclosure hitting the market like roadkill on pavement.

At some point, most of us realize that life is a gradual process of acquiring the knowledge necessary to stay alive and maybe make a little money along the way. Remember when Mom told you not to eat stuff off the sidewalk? There’s a reason for that – you could get very sick. Or when Dad told you not to stand on the very highest rung of the ladder b…

As you may know, we at Platinum Properties Investor Network believe that real estate, income properties specifically, are the premium investment asset in the world.

Like a broken record, we keep telling you that big-time inflation is just around the corner and now is the time to adjust your investment strategy. But why do we think inflation is coming? Okay, fair question. Here is the chain of economic events we see coming. 1. The natural consequence of our politicians “print more money no matter what” philosop…

What’s to stop an interested income property investor from showing up at one of our heralded educational events, find out which markets we’re recommending, and head out to make your own connection with your own real estate agent? The short answer is nothing. There is absolutely to stop anyone from doing that. It’s not illegal. It’s not immoral, and…

Ahh, your own private bank. Wouldn’t it be great? Working, well, uh, banker’s hours. Plenty of cash at hand when you’re ready to begin investing. At Platinum Properties Investor Network, we’d like to point out there is a private bank you can use for income property investing you might not have thought about. It’s called your home.

If you’ve been interested in income property investing for any length of time, whether you’ve actually pulled the trigger and bought a property or not, you’ve likely run across the “No money down!” hucksters. They’ll show you pictures of happy couples relaxing on their favorite beach, living a life of frivolity and luxury on the income from their r…

CW Blogcast 43 - When will we shut up about inflation? 2:08

12+ y ago2:08

2:08

The answer to the question posed in the headline is “When hell freezes over” or, to put it more politely, “Never.” We feel pretty sure in making such a definitive statement because there is no logical way inflation will ever stop being a serious economic issue as long as our wrongheaded politicians think increasing the money supply is going to solv…

Most of the time, we at Platinum Properties Investor Network would tell you that taking out a loan against your 401k retirement plan would be a bad idea. The reason is that the majority of people would waste the proceeds on the trappings of wealth – boats, cars, expensive vacations. If that describes what you would likely do with a 401k loan, you h…

Warren Buffett, the Sage of Omaha, seems like a kindly old gentleman when you see him on television but never forget the man got to where he is in life with an eagle eye constantly cocked for opportunity. Recent events in the stock market are a good lesson for why we say the average investor should run from Wall Street investments with all due spee…

Spend any time with television or radio these days and you likely will hear the pitch that corporate credit is the answer to it all. World peace, hunger, nuclear proliferation, a veritable free flow of money that gushes into your pocket any time you want it to.

Until recently, Platinum Properties Investor Network didn’t like to recommend foreclosures to our network.

Why aren’t more people investing in income properties when it’s the most lucrative, safest choice in history? Good question. Probably because people would rather watch television than improve their financial condition. Sure, everybody says they want to get rich but what are they actually doing about it besides flapping their gums? Talking wistfully…

12+ y ago2:21

2:21

Many contracts say that rent is due on the 1st of each month but the late charge doesn’t kick in until the 10th. So it’s no big deal if the check arrives on the 5th, 6th, or even the 9th. Right? We hate to break the bad news but your leniency on rent is only going to encourage more delinquency. You've heard this before from us - human nature! Maybe…

Not ALL real estate seminars are a rip-off but you can get taken to the tune of several thousand dollars without getting much actionable material in return if you’re not careful.

Your broker has turned you on to an incredible income property deal that will cash flow big time from the beginning because it’s already leased long term. You’re so excited you might pass out. There’s cash in the bank to cover the purchase. Pull the trigger? Not quite that fast. Despite antiquated conventional wisdom to the contrary, buying a prope…
